When he arrived at the place, Qing Shu got out of the carriage and saw that Zhou Boyan was turning over and dismounting, and doubts flashed in his eyes, "What are you doing with me?" ”

Zhou Boyan glanced at her lightly, "Did I follow you?" ”

Qing Shu glanced at him, didn't say anything more, walked forward, and stopped to see the men tearing down the burned ruins and broken walls.

Gu Yuanhe, who was watching the work, saw Qing Shu and his party, stepping on the broken objects on the ground with one foot high and one foot low to meet them, "Miss, it's messy here, it's easy to get hurt, don't go inside." ”

Qingshu stopped, "How long will it take to clean up?" ”

Gu Yuanhe replied, "It will be cleaned up before dark." Master Liu said that there is no frozen layer underground, and as long as the house has picked an auspicious day, he can lead his craftsmen to break ground at any time. ”

Breaking ground is a big deal, and you must ask a feng shui master to watch the days. Not only that, but the upper beam also depends on the day, and when the shop is built and decorated, it also depends on the day when it opens. In short, in the eyes of the ancients, everything that counts as a big thing must look at the day, in order to have a good omen, and everything will be good and good in the future.

Gu Qiang attaches great importance to it, and he will personally go over to the master today to see the day. It is estimated that there will be a quasi-letter in the afternoon.

Qing Shu watched for a while, returned to the carriage, and told Li Dalang to go to Zhuangzi.

Zhou Boyan, who was standing on the side of the road with his hands behind his back, saw it, walked over and grabbed the reins and got on his horse, and followed with six guards in black brocade clothes.

Gu Shishi was very puzzled, scratched his head and leaned over to speak, "Childe, why are you following Miss Gu?" ”

Zhou Boyan didn't say a word, and whipped him with a horsewhip.

Gu Shishi screamed and leaned back, barely dodging the whip thrown at him. When he sat up straight with his head in his hands, the six brocade-clothed guards gave him a sympathetic look and passed him.

Gu Shishi wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, muttered in his mouth, "Childe's temper has gone bad recently", and listlessly urged the horse to keep up with the team that was walking away.

When I got out of town, there were a few men dressed as villagers scattered on the side of the road. Zhou Boyan and the guards passed without squinting. Gu Shishi, who was walking at the end, looked left and right, and inadvertently met a man who peeked at them, he sighed and looked at the man a few more times. But he saw that the man bowed his head, and looked no more at them.

The more Gu Shishi thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, but he didn't dare to talk to his son-in-law, so he accosted a guard, "Don't you think the few men who were squatting at the gate of the town just now looked at people with suspicious eyes?" ”

The guard snorted.

Gu Shi felt that he had found a confidant, and he was quite happy, "Since the two of us found out that something was wrong, then the two of us went back and caught them for interrogation, if they came for Gongzi, then we have made a great contribution." If it's a misunderstanding, that's even better. ”

The guard suddenly began to sympathize with Yan Gongzi again, there is such a stupid boy who can't live in peace, Yan Gongzi is really not easy. With such thoughts, the guard silently continued to hurry, not even giving an "um", too lazy to take care of Gu Shi.

Gu Shi was depressed and followed at the back of the line dejectedly.

After more than half an hour, when he arrived at the wooden plank bridge that he often walked, Li Dalang stopped the carriage with a shout.

Xiao Juan poked her head out of the carriage, "What's the matter?" ”

Li Dalang replied in a deep voice: "The wooden bridge in front is broken, and I can't cross it." ”

Zhou Boyan urged him to step forward, approached the wooden bridge and looked at it, his eyes darkened. At this time, one of the guards dismounted, walked forward to take a look around, walked back to Zhou Boyan's side and whispered, "Childe, someone deliberately sabotaged it and cut it off with an axe." ”

Zhou Boyan looked at Li Dalang, "Which other road leads to the Grange?" ”

Li Dalang pointed to the bare woods to the east, "You can pass through the forest, and there is a road leading to a carriage in the middle, but it is a little far away." ”

Zhou Boyan looked around, "Let's go, just go over there." ”

Three guards in front, three guards behind, Zhou Boyan followed the side of the car, and a group of people unhurriedly diverted the road through the forest. Unexpectedly, they came out of the forest without any danger, and there was nothing unusual.

In the fields, the peasants were busy working in twos and threes, some of them were shaving sorghum stubble, some of them were planting spring wheat, in short, the peasants' work for a year began.

When approaching the grange that belonged to the ancient mansion, you could see more than a dozen or twenty people working in the fields from a distance. There are those who sprinkle the manure of the peasants, there are those who drive the oxen to follow behind and plough the ground, there are those who sow wheat seeds, and there are those who pull crossbeams and follow behind to bury wheat seeds......

When he got closer, Qing Shu stopped the carriage and got off the station to watch the people in Zhuangzi work.

Soon the oxen ploughing the land arrived in front of Qingshu and them, and everyone saw that the plough pulled by the ox was very special. There are only two kinds of ploughs for farmers, that is, the plough at the bottom is divided into a large ploughshare that is turned deep and a small plough that is turned shallowly, and except for the plow part, the other parts are basically wooden.

The plough used on the ancient Zhuangzi, except for the handrail is wood, the other parts are basically cast in iron, and the horizontal is about one meter long, and the ploughshare at the bottom is not one, but eight, all of them are not big, and they are smaller than the small plowshares that are usually turned shallowly.

Out of the field, Steward Wu, who was supporting the plow, stopped the oxen to rest, then looked back at the eight shallow ridges that were turned out side by side behind him, and said with a happy face: "Miss, this plow is definitely a good hand at planting wheat." ”

Qing Shu's face also had a happy color, "What do you think of the shade?" Are wheat sprouts easy to emerge? ”

"Exactly. It's just that the scalpers are tired. Steward Wu went over and patted the scalper's neck with a distressed face.

Qing Shu smiled, "You can modify it a little, and turn this plow into a plow that can trap two oxen!" ”

Hearing this, Steward Wu's face suddenly changed, "It's still the young lady who thinks thoughtfully, and when the work is finished in the evening, the little one immediately pulls the plow and finds the blacksmith to get it." ”

The eight people who followed the wheat seeds went out of the field and saluted Qingshu.

At this time, Zhou Boyan came over and kept looking at the plow and the shallow ridge that was ploughed, "This is the plow specially used to plant wheat?" ”

Qing Shu had already turned around, and Steward Wu was responsible for answering, "Yes, Yan Gongzi." ”

Zhou Boyan looked at the large wheat field that had been planted, "Where did you buy it?" ”

Steward Wu said a little proudly: "I didn't buy it, it was made by Miss." ”

"Huh?" Zhou Boyan thought he had heard it wrong, and glanced at Qing Shu, who was talking with his back to him and the two men who were seeded.

Steward Wu was happy, "Miss came up with it after reading the agricultural book, we found a blacksmith shop to fight, and the first time I tried it, I felt that it was wrong, and I changed it again, and I beat it four or five times, and finally it was done." You see, it's not even noon, and we've finished planting the wheat that others have been planting for two days. ”

Zhou Boyan said with a look of course: "Call another one and keep it for me." ”

Steward Wu immediately didn't dare to speak, and looked in the direction of Qing Shu.

Qing Shu turned around and said to Zhou Boyan angrily, "Do you hate it?" Why are you everywhere? You don't farm, what do you covet my plow? ”

Zhou Boyan suddenly remembered her love for silver, "I'll buy it with silver." ”

Qing Shu refused, "Don't sell it." She asked Steward Wu to negotiate with the blacksmith shop early in the morning, and the plough was pulled out and all pulled to the annual spring ploughing meeting in Jinyang City, where it was to be sold at a high price. It doesn't matter if you can't sell it, pull it back and save it. In the coming year, I don't believe that no one will come to buy it.

Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Steward Wu didn't let the oxen rest, drove the oxen to turn around, and helped the plow into the field again.

Zhou Boyan walked a few steps to the side, looked at Qing Shu and said, "Come here, borrow a step to speak." ”

Qing Shu didn't like his tone very much, a little like a high-minded order, "There's nothing to say, if you don't sell it, you don't sell it." ”

Zhou Boyan thought it was funny, "Do you know that you are like a child with a temper tantrum." ”

"So what?" After that, Qingshu beckoned Xiaojuan to get in the car, she still had to see how tall Maizi had grown, so she didn't want to stand here arguing with him, it felt strange.

When she got to the place, Xiaojuan's mouth opened wide, with a look of disbelief, "Miss, it's ...... It...... It's also too fast. ”

Qing Shu stared at the wheat that was growing happily and squinted with a smile. Although the wheat seedlings are relatively thin, it is good that there can be an additional harvest without affecting the normal farming in the past. When the ten acres of wheat are ripe, maybe they will be able to pick up a bud grain. In this way, these ten acres of wheat are not an additional harvest.

Zhou Boyan had already walked into the field, staring thoughtfully at this green wheat seedling.

Qing Shu frowned slightly, "Don't sue me, you're beating my wheat again." ”

Zhou Boyan neither refuted nor admitted, and asked her sternly, "Won't you delay the next crop?" Will the gains outweigh the losses? ”

Qing Shu didn't expect him to ask like this, he was stunned, and told the truth, "I don't know, I won't know the result until it is harvested." However, in my estimation, at least a stubble of beans will be available. ”

Zhou Boyan listened, walked along the wheat field, and suddenly squatted down in one place, pulling the wheat seedlings with his big hand, and then waved his hand at Qingshu, "Come here." ”

Qing Shu thought that he had found something wrong, walked over, and bent down slightly to look at the place where he pulled away, "What's wrong?" ”

Zhou Boyan looked at her quietly, and seeing that no one else was coming, he lowered his voice and spoke, "I want you to be mentally prepared in advance, sooner or later, your wheat will attract people from Sinong Temple in Beijing." ”

Qing Shu's movements were stagnant for a moment, and his mind was slightly confused. In the past, she believed that at least this year would not attract the attention of others, but now she doesn't believe it, because there is a Xiao family in Jinyang City. Since the day of the public grudge, the Xiao family will always pay attention to her movements, and will naturally find the unusual wheat field on her Zhuangzi. "There are people from the Xiao family in Sinong Temple?"

Zhou Boyan was still squatting on the ground and never got up, "Can you listen to my advice." ”

"Huh?"

"Being noticed by Sinong Temple first, you are very passive. On the contrary, if you take the initiative to bring the Holy One to your attention, no one can help you. ”

Qing Shu felt that his heart was blocked, and he asked with difficulty, "Let the Holy Lord notice, what should I do?" "I really feel very aggrieved, I just want to plant a good land, but it's so difficult. But then again, at any time and in any era, little people will always encounter such grievances, too caring, too annoyed, and sad only themselves, and definitely not others.

"If you have no opinion, write a detailed farming book, one to Governor Chen, and one to the Imperial History. The two of them will not hide their secrets, and will prepare to report to the imperial court along with your farming book. When the time comes, no one will be able to take the credit from you. ”

Qing Shu took a deep breath, "What if the harvest is not good in the end, and the top blames it?" ”

"As long as it's not a grain of nothing, no one will blame you, only reward you. On the side of Governor Chen's mansion, you personally go and hand over the cultivation book. You give me the share of the imperial history...... Or give it to Grostar. Even if you don't harvest any grains, it's a fact that you grow early wheat, and no matter how bad it is, it's just a matter of nothing to be afraid of. ”

Qing Shu turned around and walked back.

"You're going to pave the way for Qingyang's future, aren't you? If Qingyang takes the official career, what you have to do now will be of great help to him. ”

Qing Shu stopped and slowly turned his face, his face was full of helplessness and self-deprecation, "You are really annoying." ”

Zhou Boyan was stunned, stood up, patted the soil on the corner of his robe, and said lightly: "Really?" ”

"I advise you too. Even if you can see through the girl's heart, don't say it in front of the girl. Otherwise, no girl dares to like you, and you don't want to please a lady in your life. Qing Shu added a sentence in his heart very resentfully: I wish you will never be able to get a wife for the rest of your life, and you will be a single person for the rest of your life, and you will hate ghosts.

The corners of Zhou Boyan's mouth pulled up a strange arc, "Thank you for the advice." ”

Qing Shu walked to the ground in distraught. I wanted to plant for a few years and save some money, but I didn't expect to have to sacrifice the farming method before I saw the fruit, and I felt very angry.

"I took your plow, and I took it as a thank you for your advice." Zhou Boyan said from behind her.

The fire in Qing Shu's heart began to soar upward, and he said loudly as he walked: "That's to be offered, it's nothing to do with you." When she returned to the field, she said home, and got into the carriage with a gloomy face.

Watching the carriage of Gufu turn around and leave, Gu Shishi greeted Zhou Boyan, "Childe, Miss Gu's face is not very good, is Childe angry with Miss Gu again?" ”

Zhou Boyan pushed Gu Shi away, "No matter how many mouths and tongues you have, I will directly pull out your tongue." ”

Gu Shiyi covered his mouth and secretly warned himself: Recently, Childe's temper is not very good, and people have become very eccentric, so you must not provoke it, let alone say a wrong word.

On their way back, they passed through the detour of the woods again, when suddenly, dozens of birds perched on the trees flew away, and a messy rustling of footsteps approached them from behind.

The guards drew their swords and shouted, "Who? ”

Dozens of reckless men with swords in their hands rushed forward with a look of rage, swinging their swords and slashing.

Six guards rode to meet the battle, Gu Shishi shouted, "Childe go quickly", and drew the big knife hanging on the saddle to pay attention to the surrounding movements.

Li Dalang waved his whip to urge the horse to run quickly, but with a sonorous sound, in the neighing of the horse, the right wheel fell into a trap, and the body was about to turn over. Li Dalang immediately made a decision, and when he shouted "Xiaojuan, quickly hold the left car wall", he grabbed the edges and corners of the left car wall with one hand, and pulled out the woodcutter hidden under the seat cushion with the other hand and pinned it to his waist, and then slowly moved his body to the left, and finally sat on the inclined left car edge, hoping to use the weight of his body to find a little balance and buy time for the people in the car.

At this time, Ding Jiabao, Wei Tiezhu and Kang Xuanzhu, who were following the car, had already run to the right side of the car, pressed the inclined body with their shoulders, and shouted to Miss to get out of the car.

In the car, Xiaojuan grabbed the edge of the left window with one hand, and reached out to Qing Shu who hit the right wall with the other hand, "Miss, the slave maid pulled you here, quickly." ”

Qing Shu endured the pain in her right arm, endured the feeling of dizziness, and stretched out her left hand to Xiaojuan.

Xiao Juan clenched Qingshu's hand and tugged hard.

Qing Shu used Xiao Juan's strength to move to the left.

Gu Shishi was anxious and didn't know where to start, so Zhou Boyan instructed him, "Help Li Dalang stabilize the horse." ”

Gu Shishi hurriedly went over and asked Li Dalang what he should do.

Zhou Boyan got off the horse, opened the carriage door, and saw that Qing Shu and Xiao Juan had moved to the left side and opened the car window, so he stretched out his hand to Qing Shu, "Come here, give me your hand." ”

Qing Shu pulled Xiaojuan to crawl over together. Xiaojuan shook her head, "Miss, you don't have to worry about the slave, as long as you get out safely, the slave can jump out by herself." ”

Zhou Boyan shouted to Ding Jiabao and the others, leaned half of his body into the car, stretched out his arm, grabbed Qing Shu's right wrist and dragged people out.

Qing Shu hissed in pain, then gritted his teeth and endured, using his strength to cling to the wall of the car and moving towards the door.

Zhou Boyan realized that something was wrong, "What's wrong?" ”

The fight behind was so fierce, Qing Shu naturally knew that he was not good at making trouble at this time, so he shook his head, stretched out his left hand and grabbed Zhou Boyan's sleeve, and crawled in his direction with his strength, and soon arrived in front of him.

Zhou Boyan couldn't avoid it, carried her out of the carriage, and then put her in front of his horse and "got on the horse".

Qing Shu put his left hand on Zhou Boyan's shoulder, climbed on his horse, sat firmly, and then looked back at Xiao Juan eagerly, but saw that Xiao Juan was climbing out, and Gu Shi had already gone over to help Xiao Juan.

Qing Shu was staring nervously, but his vision was blocked. It turned out that Zhou Boyan was on the horse, holding the reins with one hand and holding her waist with the other. She didn't have the heart to do this now, and leaned out to look, only to breathe a sigh of relief until Xiaojuan landed safely.

At this time, I only heard Li Dalang shouting a sentence of three, and the horse commander of the carriage neighed out of the noose, and the carriage overturned to the right and fell to the ground.

Qing Shu's face turned white.

I only heard Zhou Boyan's voice coming from above her head, "Your people are fine, don't worry!" ”

At this time, Ding Jiabao walked over, "Miss, it's okay, let's go." ”

Qing Shu almost burst into tears, "It's okay." ”

Zhou Boyan ordered, "Li Dalang, get on the horse." "Stone, bring Xiaojuan with you."

Gu Shi scratched his head and took his big knife, "That, you step on my feet first, and I'll pull you up!" As he spoke, he stretched out a hand to Xiaojuan under the horse.

Xiaojuan was stunned.

Qing Shu spoke, "Don't rub it in, move quickly, it's important to escape." ”

------Off topic------

I was notified today that there would be a power outage for a day tomorrow and I cried. I don't sleep tonight, I have to code tomorrow's chapter all night. What a sad day
